Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serotonin and norepinephrine are both monoamine neurotransmitters that are believed to be significantly involved in mood regulation, and depletion of these neurotransmitters has been linked to major depressive disorder. THC is a psychoactive component of marijuana that is not directly linked to depression, and dopamine and acetylcholine have more differential effects on mood regulation than serotonin and norepinephrine.
